to stick with a C4. T5 will not handle a well built 302, much less a highpower 351. what kind of power are you talking about? T5 (depending on the exact year, etc.) is suppose to handle around 300lbs torque, max. Tremec is rated at 350lbs, but I've heard of them handling much more than that. Tremec TKO is suppose to be damn near invulnerable as far as small block Fords go. I will say, if driven easily, no power shifting, the T5 will probably be ok, but if you plan on a built 351, we know you're going to use it...
: It sounds great...but $400 for the tranny is the absolute max.
